  • Calling us at +1 971.0685
  • Sending an email to Law@bochner.law

Only you, or your authorized agent, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

To use an authorized agent to make a verifiable consumer request, you must provide the authorized agent written authorization to do so. You may also be required to verify your own identity directly with us. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized to act on your behalf. Such requirements, however, will not apply where you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to Cal. Probate Code §§ 4000 to 4465.

Upon receiving a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, we will confirm receipt within 10 days and provide information about how we will process the request, how we will verify your identity, and when you should expect a response (except in cases in which we have already granted or denied the request). We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For Right to Know requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your California rights. Unless permitted by California law, we will not:

  • Deny you services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
